The Sort Füt replaces the stock spike with a four-part, mechanically tuned footer: an aluminum body, a bronze finial dome and three zirconia ceramic balls that minimise the contact area while keeping the cabinet stable, so extraneous energy drains to the floor instead of staying in the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eNordost's description of the result is a reduction in intermodulation distortion, more musical information and more tonal and textural detail, which lets a system reach the dynamic range it is capable of. Kirk Midtskog of The Absolute Sound found greater sonic ease, better detail retrieval and more coherent dynamics, as if small timing errors had been corrected, with no apparent downsides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eA single Füt is sold with 1\/4-20, 6 mm and 8 mm threaded adapters. The Premium Package adds the adjustment tool and a laser leveling system so a pair of speakers can be set up precisely. The Sort Kup sits under each Füt to protect wood floors, with a geometry that pairs with the finial dome; the Sort Lock fixes the dome once set so speakers can be moved and returned to the same adjustment. We fit Sort Füt under Magico, Sonus faber and Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins loudspeakers and under HRS and Solidsteel racks in the showroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect mechanical ground.\u003c\/strong\u003e Four-part construction gives unwanted energy a path out of loudspeakers and racks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinial dome and ceramic balls.\u003c\/strong\u003e A bronze dome and three Zr02 balls minimise contact area while keeping the component stable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable and adaptable.\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 9\/16 in (14 mm) of adjustment;
